Messages from World Leaders

Adjunct Professor, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy
Former High Commissioner of Pakistan to Singapore
The Global Schools Foundation has done great work not only in providing education to thousands of children but in trying to connect communities together in many countries in South East Asia and beyond.
The rapid growth of the GIIS in Singapore and many countries of the region is indicative of the quality of their education and the fact that they are filling in the gap which was needed in this part of the world.

Former Indian Ambassador to Japan
Advisory Board (Japan), Global Schools Foundation
I am happy to be associated with the foundation’s work in Japan for over a year. I have seen the activities of the foundation in the realm of education; culture and community relations grow impressively in this period.
Apart from running these schools which have a fair number of Japanese children, apart from the Indians, the Foundation has also worked through the Cultural Centres to popularise various aspects of Indian traditions. These activities have enabled the foundation to establish a broad network with the local Japanese community. In this sense the foundation has helped in the task of promoting a better relationship between India and Japan. I wish every success to the organisation, the dedicated teachers that we are proud to have with us and above all to the talented children who come to us for assistance in the noble task of pursuing knowledge.

Singapore’s Trade Representative to Taiwan
Former High Commissioner of Singapore to the Republic of India
Being the largest international school in Singapore, the GIIS has made significant contributions to the development of Singapore as a premier international education hub. We are proud to be a partner to the continuing success of the GIIS.

Embassy of India, Bangkok
It gives me great pleasure to learn that the Global Indian International School (GIIS) has been established in Bangkok. GIIS Thailand would provide a unique opportunity to aspiring students to choose from CBSE, British and IB curricula. I am sure that the school will also provide for all-round development of personality for its students. I am happy that the Indian and other international communities in Bangkok have wholeheartedly welcomed the opening of the Global Indian International School. The establishment of GIIS in Bangkok fulfils the longstanding need of the Indian communities for a school with CBSE system. GIIS Thailand is a welcome addition to the international schools in Bangkok.
On behalf of the Indian Embassy, and on my own behalf, I wish the students, parents, teachers and the school management every success in their endeavour.

Former High Commissioner of India, Singapore
In a very short period, the school has established a reputation for academic excellence and has displayed an ability to meet the schooling requirements of the growing Indian community in Singapore. The establishment and functioning of this school reflects new directions of India’s growth and the many ways in which we now seek to engage other societies. The cultural centre of the school adds to its dimensions of service in Singapore and provides a forum for both Indians and other nationalities to acquaint them with our culture.

Founding Patron, Global Schools Foundation
The Global Indian International Schools in Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, India, UAE, Vietnam and Thailand are providing world-class Indian education to the children of our pravasi bharatiyas and the Global Indian Cultural Centres are helping to preserve and reinforce the rich values of our vibrant Indian culture.
It has carefully integrated with the social fabric of various countries and this is evident from the fact that Singaporeans are learning Yoga at your centres, Malaysian and Japanese students are attending your schools and the Thai students are attending your cultural centres for value education. I am delighted to hear that GIIS schools are promoting “Gandhian Values and Thoughts” through its Mahatma Gandhi Centres and these very values are a cornerstone for religious harmony and peace.

Former Member of Parliament
Government of Singapore
Although a relative new comer, Global Indian International School has exceeded in offering good educational programmes to Indian expatriate children in Singapore. I am also happy to note that your campuses have been linking up with the local community. You have provided an important service to enable more investors and professionals from India to come to Singapore. I can feel the vibrancy of the students, professionalism of the staff, and support of the parents whenever I visit your campuses.

Member of Parliament,Tampines GRC
Government of Singapore
I am glad that the Global Indian International School in Singapore has expanded to its third campus in a short time frame of six years. GIIS has been working very closely with the Queenstown community and has contributed significantly through the offering of various programmes such as Yoga classes. I am sure the school and the Global Schools Foundation will continue their untiring efforts as an integrated member of the Queenstown community.

Former Governor of Pathum Thani Province
We are pleased to extend a warm welcome to the Global Indian International School (GIIS) to our Pathum Thani Province. GIIS pioneer the International Indian Education System for the local international communities in Thailand. Most of all, the Global Indian Foundation has informed us of their intention to cooperate with the Pathum Thani Province in introducing the Indian CBSE Curriculum to the education public in Thailand, to help supporting the Thai education reform to commemorate His Majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej on His 80th Anniversary.

Goodwill Ambassador, United Nations Population Fund (UNPFA)
Member of Rajya Sabha, Government of India
Personality Development is a very strategic skill that any Global citizen should have. I am pleased with the approach and focus the Global Indian International School has undertaken in this respect through Personality and Speech & Drama development programmes. Our students would thus emerge more communicative, articulate and expressive and would truly represent the Global Indians.

Former Member of Parliament, Government of Singapore
GIIS’ emphasis on a well-rounded educational syllabus that encompasses academic teaching as well as cultural and social education will provide a solid foundation for students to meet the challenges in the global marketplace in the future. Singapore welcomes Indian nationals and their families to work, live and study in Singapore. When people-to-people linkages between India and Singapore deepen, the overall bilateral relationship is fortified. I wish GIIS more success.

Executive Chairman, Infosys
The Global Schools Foundation has so far lived up to its mission of providing high quality international and Indian education at very affordable rates around the world. From its modest beginnings in Singapore, Global Indian International School now successfully operates in several countries including Malaysia, India and Japan. I am quite hopeful that the Foundation will continue creating institutions with the highest educational standards and consequently producing some of the best leaders of the future. I wish the Global Schools Foundation a wonderful journey ahead.

Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources
Government of Singapore
I would like to congratulate the Global Schools Foundation for the excellent work you are doing and the significant growth in your group. I hope the foundation will continue to build on its strengths and forge even stronger bonds between the Indian Diaspora and the resident communities in their host countries.

Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore
Minister For Finance, Government of Singapore
GIIS in Singapore has shown remarkable growth, from just 48 students at the Mount Sophia campus, to its current size. This achievement is tribute to the efforts of the Global Schools Foundation, which has also done much to promote Indian culture in fine arts, music and dance. I would also like to commend the Indian expatriate community in Singapore for its initiative and spirit in helping realise the aim of building a school that caters to the needs of their children.

Former Prime Minister of New Zealand
I would like to congratulate the Global Schools Foundation on the 5th anniversary of the school and wish all the best to the students, teachers and Board in providing great education for children in our community.

Minister of External Affairs, Government of India
I would like to tell the GIIS students that about 60% of India is young and you people are the future, so never lose self-confidence in yourself. Always think you can do anything and everything and this is more so for the girls with females having entered fields such as navy, air force, mountaineering, even police and they have excelled.

Former US Deputy Secretary of State
My advise to GIIS students is – do the best where you are; live in the moment. And take advantage of your opportunities. Secondly, if you want to become a policy-maker like me, you must not become a geek. You have got to be well rounded persons; you have got to have other interests rather than just policy-making.

Former Minister of Urban Development, Government of India
I’m delighted to be here because the Global Schools Foundation with its network of Global Indian International Schools is the laboratory, which unleashes India’s intellectuals and entrepreneurial abilities.

Nobel Prize laureate (1991)
It is a great pleasure for me to present a lecture at the Global Indian International School. For me, young people are our only hope for a better future. They have to know that there are pleasures and dangers in life. All of us have to develop responsibility towards mankind in order to find beneficial avenues that can lead to the prosperity and happiness of everybody.

Humans have incredible potential in terms of intelligence. It is important to advance it constructively. At the same time warm heartedness and altruism are equally very important. I therefore urge you all to put efforts in combining the two–intelligence and altruism.

Former President of India
Dear students, when you complete your education, what will you carry with you? It is knowledge. Knowledge has three components: creativity, righteousness and courage. The combination of these characteristics can generate enlightened citizens.

I am very happy with the Global Montessori Plus Programme and the progress my child has made in the last two years. Here, each child is able to progress at his/her own pace.

Dr APJ Abdul Kalam cared for children’s education across the world In eulogy, the People’s President will be remembered as one of the world’s greatest scientists, greatest teachers, and inspiring visionaries. In my view, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam was an educator

Knowledge of grammar is the foundation for learning any language. Children often do not enjoy studying grammar as it has a structured approach and has its own set of rules. To make grammar classes interesting, the teachers design interactive lesson plans.

GIIS mourns the loss of former Indian president and scientist, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam. The GIIS family shares a special bond with Dr Kalam as he visited all three GIIS campuses in Singapore on different occasions.

His first visit to GIIS in 2006 was a historic moment for the school. The then-President introduced himself to students, in a language befitting the age of his audience.

Subsequently, as former President, he inaugurated our Balestier Campus in 2008 and launched our 10-year celebrations at East Coast Campus in 2011.
